Search for a Star Qualifier at Vale View on 11th May 2014

The 2014 series of the South Essex Insurance Brokers (SEIB) Search For A Star and the SEIB Racehorse to Riding Horse Show Championships continues on the 11th May at Vale View Equestrian Centre in Leicestershire. Search For A Star has been created by SEIB to encourage amateur riders to produce their horses to a high standard in the show ring and giving them the opportunity to compete at the prestigious finals at the Horse Of The Year Show (HOYS). The SEIB Search for a Star series has helped many horses to go on to a very successful show ring career, Each qualifying competition follows the same format, with classes for Working Hunters, Riding Club Show Horses, Show Hunters, Show Ponies & Show Hunter Ponies, Riding Horse/Hacks and Cobs. Search for a Star Judge, Richard Ramsay, along with his co-judges at each venue, have many years experience in the show ring and are very helpful. There is usually an opportunity after each class to speak with the judges who will offer advice on how to improve your horse for the show ring. Search for a Star has an enviable reputation for supporting the true amateur and riders at the grass roots level. While lessons and professional advice are encouraged to help riders improve their game, competitors are expected to take part in the spirit of the competition and rules regarding eligibility are strictly enforced. Also at Vale View on the 11th May is a qualifier for the 2014 for the SEIB Racehorse To Riding Horse Show Championship at Horse of the Year Show. This class was created to support and encourage the re-education of thoroughbreds taken out of racing, re-schooling them and preparing them for a new career in the show ring. This class is open to any rider and, to be eligible, the ex-racehorse horse must have been in training with a recognised trainer, must have raced in the UK either in point to point, national hunt or on the flat. This Championship series helps to recognise the abilities of the many horses that come out of racing each year, providing them with a worthwhile competition opportunity. The classes are judged as for Riding Horses but the best of type, whether hack, riding horse or hunter, is deemed the winner. SEIB specialist equestrian insurance brokers are renowned for supporting riders, especially at grass roots level. “The Search For A Star Championship series is a way to give amateur riders the chance to achieve their dream of riding at The Horse Of The Year Show. The standard increases every year and we are delighted to give so many riders this opportunity”, said Nicolina MacKenzie, Marketing Manager at South Essex Insurance Brokers.2014 SEIB Search for a Star and SEIB Racehorse to Riding Horse qualifiers will be held at:11th May 2014, Vale View Equestrian Centre, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, LE14 3LX.Tel: 01664 82373922nd June 2014, Summerhouse Equestrian Centre, Hardwick, Gloucester, GL2 2RG.Tel: 01452 720 2886th July 2014, Bury Farm Equestrian Centre, Slapton, Bucks, LU7 9BT.
